My brother got divorced two years ago. The guy is a total douche. I really can't stand him. Anyway, the wife and I really liked his ex-wife and her family. They were married for 10 years, so we really got to know them over the years. Anyway, we hadn't seen them in a long time, so I invited her, her mom and her brother (and my brother's two kids) over to the house for a small dessert party on Sat night. Nothing big. Just hung out for a few hours. Caught up. You would not believe the backlash I'm getting over this. My brother is ballistic. Mom is going nuts. Jesus fucking christ. It's like I invited bin Laden over for Hanukkah or something. They both are saying, "Why wasn't I invited?!?!!?" (when they both absolutely despise these people). It's going to be a crazy, crazy Christmas.
oh. meant a work one. but family ones too. parents hosting one on Christmas eve dinner and then going for christmas day dinner at aunt's house.
